Have a few questions:
1) Are there any local BMW gatherings?
2) What are the reputable BMW independent shops? Might need some work done soon.
3) Anyone know any good sublets in North Side? Lol.

1) check out chitownm.com, weekly Wednesday meets rain, snow or shine.
2) discussed on chitownm.com quite a bit.
3) craigslist

Who's coming to the golf outing?

J-Spec Dan · 08-03-2014, 12:20 AM

I moved with essential stuff today to the north side. Rest of my stuff should arrive this week

Anyone know of a good indy mechanic who has done AC repairs in our car? Its probably my evap, and since it involves taking apart my entire dash, I would rather go to someone who has done this before.

mashimarho · 09-04-2014, 05:03 PM

Jmeas is coming down and I got a small group that wants to grab some grub and cruise. The invite is open to everyone. We're figuring out last minute details like location and such.

Let me know if you're interested for this Sunday.

Yes and no. Everything works fine, however I messed up a tad. I put the lens back on the headlight and then realized the angel eye moved unevenly. I pulled the lens back off and fixed the problem. Well after that it was tough to put the lens on and to get a proper seal. Now I get condensation during car washes/heavy rain. I'll be sending it out to Lightwerkz to get it resealed though.

If you plan on doing it, make sure you have a free weekend. Just take your time and you should be fine.
